I dunno if I've gotten my nic fix, or if that's endorphins for the pain, lol.

No worries Roderick! snusgetter had your back!

Lowkeylylesmith,

I'm so sorry for your pain. I don't know how I missed this post but have been laughing all the way to the end. You've got some good advice on here. I'll just add my 2 cents worth.

If you are a complete beginner I suggest licking your thumb and forefinger and taking a large pinch, then rubbing the thumb and forefinger into the front part of the septum. I also say that surprisingly the larger the pinch the less of a sneeze/burn problem.

On one of the other forums a snuffer suggested, “Closing the airway to your throat, hold your breath and drop your lower jaw and tongue while keeping your mouth closed. Do it once or twice without the snuff, try it with the snuff.” I realised after I read his comments that this describes what most snuffers subconsciously progress to and it is an excellent description of an advanced technique.

Slidingblues,

My apologies I thought I'd answered your question about Original. Toque Original is a very old SP recipe and SD Original is a modern take on SP with a slight nod to the German styles of snuff. SD Original has the obvious Bergamot, a hint of menthol and a couple of secret 100% natural ingredients.

Just so everyone knows...Silver Dollar is made by Roderick at Toque for my distributor in the US ;-) Not sure if this is a secret, but it's a fact and the Silver Dollar is good. I grabbed a couple tins when I was at the last tobacco show and love it! Enjoy!!

Just picked up the original and spearmint this evening. Big surprise, because it was a long wait and the SD stand was right next to the general fridge! Right on the front counter. Was at a friends house tonight and tapped a good pinch of the spearmint in my thumb pocket while they were pulling their smokes out and then a little snort-@# DAMN!!!! this stuff hits!!

To be honest I was not expecting that at all and liked that it was not going to be something too watered down and over flavored.
Just tried the original with a much smaller tap and cannot tell why I am liking it so much? but seems like a smoother Poschl hit and not as dry as a toque but still strong. The menthol, fine gride, flavors etc.. really make it a nice clean, unique flavor and feel. Good stuff!

Port Charlotte - Harbor Smokes

They only carry original. It's good but the price-point wasn't optimal for 5g. I'll snag one or two for you and ship it up if you like.

I am going to hold out for a bit. I hope the Tobacco Depot chain up here starts selling it. I spoke to them a few weeks ago and am due for my biweekly "stop in and harass the manager" to the one closest to me.

Oh, for the OP, mint snuff burns the crap out of my nose. I am not sure what I like best.....but I generally like anything better than straight up mint. Toque Peppermint had me crying like a baby and I stoppedlike buying mnt snuff. I like menthols though....maybe try an SP or the Silver Dollar Natural if available......but I have yet to try a Silver Dollar snuff so....

Where did you find it? I haven't run across any yet here in Tampa...and nobody has come through ordering it yet.

Maybe these posts might shed some light:

They did!

Many thanks!

If you were asking about where I found the silver dollar, it was at smoker friendly, and they had mint, WG, and original.

[snusgetter]

..... I sent a question to Toque asking if the SD original and the Toque original was the same product. I have not received a response. I would think it is but suspect I will like Toque Original in any case.

Maybe these posts might shed some light:

These are different than the original Toque flavors. Like a new snuff line, made by Toque, and distributed by a US company.

We've aimed them right between American/English snuffs and German snuffs. Everyone we spoke to complained about too much Menthol and clogging. These snuffs have less moisture, more flavour and less menthol, they are all great but my favourite is the original; it’s sublime (an SP style snuff with a hint of menthol).

I found some in Springfield, MO. Doesn't help you much in Tampa.....

Locally, I was only able to pick up SD Original. It too has a bit of a burn on it, but is an excellent sp. As mentioned, it is easier with practice. The tin pours easily, so try using smaller taps more frequently as opposed one or two larger bumps.

LowKeyLyesmith, I've tried all six of the Silver Dollar snuffs, and by far the Raspberry and the Cherry are the easiest to take. In fact I'd consider those two as very easy to take, though not as easy as Poschl. But the Poschls I've tried are very strong in the menthol and even doing just two or three hits a day stuffed me up pretty bad after a while, so I don't use them very often.

Using snuff takes practice. I've been doing it for seven months and still don't have it down 100%, but I do love it.

Check out the Beginner's Guide to Snuff. It has a lot of good info for folks just trying snuff. And as always if you have any questions just ask.......believe me we have all blown our heads off and scortched our nostrals at some point with snuff
